/**
 * Convenience subclass of UrlBasedViewResolver that supports InternalResourceView
 * (i.e. Servlets and JSPs), and subclasses like JstlView and TilesView.
 *
 * <p>The view class for all views generated by this resolver can be specified
 * via setViewClass. See UrlBasedViewResolver's javadocs for details.
 *
 * <p>BTW, it's good practice to put JSP files that just serve as views under
 * WEB-INF, to hide them from direct access (e.g. via a manually entered URL).
 * Only controllers will be able to access them then.
